Lois Anne Smith has been involved in spiritual healing since 1989 and has worked extensively with Ama-Deus® since 2006. She was mentored and initiated for the Instructors level by Cosmos in 2011 and is currently one of six instructors in North America. Lois Anne offers Ama~Deus classes at The Cottage and throughout the East Coast. While the Ama~Deus lineage (above) is important, Lois Anne's focus is on the powerfully loving, healing energy of Ama~Deus.

Elizabeth Cosmos, author and teacher, was responsible for the founding and developing a comprehensive, hospital-based integrated medicine program at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She later founded the International Association of Ama-Deus, LLC. Elizabeth worked for years in the study of Ama-Deus, of which the last seven months was intensive training with Aguas before his passing. The sacred wisdom of Ama-Deus is being carried forward directly as was transmitted to her from Alberto.

Alberto Costa Aguas, a renowned energy healer from 1970-80’s, returned to his native country of Brazil and soon found himself working to help preserve the ancient wisdom this tribe offered to share. Both the Guarani and Alberto believe that Love is in all healing. In an act of reciprocity, Ama-Deus was the tribes way of sharing - through Alberto - their call to action with the world, in hopes to circle the world in Love - to teach and share love, and maintain harmony for all life.

Ama~Deus is a spiritual practice accessing a stream of consciousness that is Love. Ama-Deus or Love is a tool that works to enhance our growth and awareness for one’s self as well as others.  This sacred wisdom healing technique has its origins with a deeply spiritual tribe who live in the heart of the Amazon forest.
